Lord of the Rings Online

Im seeing a lot of screens with DX10 and i think its the most amazing thing i've ever seen in my life. But i was wondering is it actually playable?!?! could i get on right know with dx10 if so then sign me up! Is it buggy?

It works and quite well if you have a PC that can run it!  Its also been live in LOTRO since last fall, and had a few issues with certain cards, but most if not all of them have been resolved!

Depends on your system

Mine is

Geforce 8800GTS 640MB

4gig ram

Vista 32bit Ultimate edition (I know it mostly sees 3.2 gigs of ram, but it uses the rest too, and that extra 1.2 gigs is really helpful, especially for Vista)

Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz

And I can play LOTRO on max, without any lag at all, even in crowded areas.

I have 3gigs of RAM a 9500 Quad Core Processor-2.2ghz and a Nvidia Geoforce graphic 8500 thats 256mb (might be higher cant remember)

Will i still be able to run it good on like high settings?

Just DL the High Res DX10 trial client and find out!

That should be enough for high settings, but I suggest you to spend some money to buy geforce 9600gt, which is powerful enough to run the game all maxed out with some average fps of 40. Depending on the store and country, they cost some 100-200 euros or dollars.

DX10 is a major upgrade to graphic quality over DX9 in LOTRO.   Definitely worth the effort.   I run two PCs with DX9 on one and DX10 on the other.   Planning on upgrading the second to DX10 since its such a dramatic increase in visual quality.

It is really?  I've heard it just adds depth to the shadows and that it's not all that big a deal.

Now I haven't seen any side by side, nor do I have Vista for the DX10, but I do love the game and it looks so nice in DX9, I can't believe it could be that much more in DX10 - makes me want to buy Vista  :)

I posted two screenshots one in DX 10 and other in 9. Honestly there is hardly any difference. You can have a look at screenshot topic if you want. The above one is DX 10 and the picture below is 9.

Shadows and the edges of the water are the big differences in dx 10.
